Love Finds Me Here

Sometimes, okay, most times, I just let the words write themselves, wondering all the while… I wonder what that means?  🙂

A Bowl Full of Hungering.

Most mornings I listen to Kerry Parson’s and Amy Wood’s beautiful meditative guide, We Are So Blessed.

One of the beginning lines is, In this silent space which inspired today’s poem.

The time of expectancy
settles upon
dark winter nights
edging towards the dawn
of a child’s birth
reminding us
to welcome into
our hearts
this season of
Hope. Peace. Love. and Joy.

This time of waiting
comes upon us
in the darkness
of our fear
we shall never find
the way
for the light
to shine
for all mankind
to see

the only way to Peace
is to surrender

our arms
empty
holding out
Hope. Peace. Love. and Joy.

the only path to Peace
is through

holding onto
nothing but
Hope. Peace. Love. and Joy.
